SDL + OpenGL problem with textures in simple Asteroids-like game

[Michal M]

Hi

I have to write a simple game to school. It is first thing I am
writing using c++ and first time I am using SDL and OpenGL. I run into
a problem which I cannot solve or diagnose by myself.
I have noticed that if I load more textures they start to behave
strangely. Let me to explain it on example.
It is simple 2d game. I have ship controlled by player, asteroids and
background. Each have its own textures. All asteroids have the same
set of textures which I change so it looks like it is animated.
Let's say I put 30 such objects into a scene. Then I notice that few
of them is invisible. They do not have texture applied. The problem
become worse with the number of loaded textures but not with their
size. I have background composed of few textures 1024x1024 and if I
switch it off it does not make any difference.
What is most weird if I run program under Eclipse in debug mode then
everything looks ok. If I run the same .exe from Windows it is broken.

I have been checking my code for 3 days and I stuck. There is nothing
more I am able to do.
I would appreciate any help.
I can share my code but I cannot extract small part from it, which
could show a problem.

Best regards
Michal M.

Thanks for an answer. I decided to put it here because I think it must
be my mistake in pure c++ and not opengl problem as I read that opengl
can handle textures itself. And yes I am aware that from I have
written it is hard to help but I am in despair and try to take every
chance.

This is then covered by FAQ 5.8.
